Mr. Mohammed Al Afari, AVP, Emirates Steel, the Platinum Partner for the event said, “We have participated in other editions of The Big 5 in other parts of the world and they all offered us many opportunities to showcase our products and promote our business. This time too we plan to exhibit our range, including rebar, wire rod and heavy sections. We believe that this event will be good for our business, knowing that it is taking place in a market that is growing every year and poised for exceptional growth.”

Elina Virchenko, Business Development Manager, Conares Steel, Dubai said, “This will be the first time we are exhibiting in India and we expect that The Big 5 Construct India is the right platform to introduce Conares rebars, tubes and pipes.”

Bond It, a specialty company from the UK would be showcasing their super stretch and wrap rescue tape, an ultimate multi-purpose repair tape.  Steve Bulless, Business Development Manager, said, “We do not have customers in India yet and we are hoping to pick up agents and distributors for this miraculous tape, the world’s leading brand for this type of product.”

Konstantinos Poulakis, Executive Manager, Alchimica Building Chemicals, Greece said, “We would be exhibiting our extensive range of solvent and non solvent base polyurethane products used for waterproofing in a green way.  Of course, we would also be launching several new products at the show.”

Lum Havolli, Business Development Manager, Globecoat, said “We would be exhibiting our range of sculptural panels, resin floors and resin wall panels, all green and high-end products.”

Among the Indian exhibitors, Ashtech plans to hold product demos to get inputs and feedbacks.  Sanjay Mandhania, Director, said, “We shall launch our new range of crystal marbles, coloured concrete and gypsum plaster at the show.”

Rossari Biotech have invited their international principals and JV partners, Knopp of Germany to demonstrate their new screed additives and Drizoro of Spain, to showcase their patented products for underground structure waterproofing and cementitious sealant.

Arc would launch PVD coated stainless steel at the event.

The Big 5 is widely regarded as a “must visit” event for any professional from the construction industry and gives valuable insight into new developments and trends.  It is also a great platform for buyers and sellers who are keen to explore opportunities for doing business.  The Big 5 in Dubai last year attracted over 60,000 audited buyers of construction products. — CCI Newswire

RBI Holds Repo Rate at 5.25%; Realty Industry Sees Stability as Growth Driver The Reserve Bank of India’s (RBI) decision to maintain the repo rate at 5.25% and retain its ‘neutral’ monetary policy stance in the third bi-monthly Monetary Policy Committee (MPC) meeting of FY27 has elicited a measured response from the real estate industry. While the sector had hoped for a rate cut to further enhance home loan affordability and stimulate housing demand, industry leaders believe the RBI’s decision reflects a balanced approach amid elevated global uncertainties, volatile energy prices, and inflationary concerns. They noted that stable interest rates will continue to support buyer confidence, provide financial predictability for developers, and sustain the momentum witnessed in the residential real estate market. Mr. Kamlesh Thakur, President, NAREDCO Maharashtra “The RBI’s decision to maintain the repo rate at 5.25% while retaining a neutral stance reflects a prudent approach amid global uncertainties and evolving inflation dynamics. While the industry was hopeful of a rate cut, policy stability itself provides confidence to both developers and homebuyers. With borrowing costs remaining unchanged, housing demand is expected to continue its momentum, particularly in the mid-income and premium segments. The upward revision of India’s GDP growth projection to 6.7% underscores the resilience of the domestic economy. Going forward, as inflation moderates in line with the RBI’s expectations, there could be room for a more accommodative monetary policy. A future rate cut would further improve housing affordability, strengthen buyer sentiment, and accelerate investments across the residential and commercial real estate sectors.” Mr. Kaushal Agarwal, Chairman, The Guardians Real Estate Advisory “The RBI’s decision to keep the repo rate unchanged brings continuity and predictability to the market at a time when global geopolitical developments and inflationary pressures continue to create uncertainty. Stable interest rates ensure that home loan EMIs remain broadly unchanged, allowing prospective buyers to make informed purchasing decisions without concerns over rising borrowing costs. The Indian housing market has demonstrated remarkable resilience over the past few years, supported by strong end-user demand, rising incomes, and growing confidence in the economy. With GDP growth projected at 6.7%, we expect housing demand to remain healthy across key micro-markets.” Mr. Shilpin Tater, Managing Director, Superb Realty “The RBI’s decision to maintain the repo rate is a balanced move considering the current global economic environment and domestic inflation outlook. Policy stability is particularly important for the real estate sector as it enables developers to plan projects with greater financial certainty while allowing buyers to benefit from stable lending rates. Demand for quality residential & commercial developments, especially in well-connected urban locations, is expected to remain robust. We remain optimistic that supportive monetary measures in the future could further strengthen investment activity.” Ms. Shraddha Kedia-Agarwal, Director, Transcon Developers “The RBI has adopted a measured and responsible approach by maintaining the repo rate while closely monitoring inflationary trends and global developments. Although a rate cut would have enhanced affordability for homebuyers, the decision to maintain stability provides confidence to both consumers and developers in an uncertain macroeconomic environment. The premium and luxury housing segments continue to witness healthy demand driven by aspirational buyers and strong wealth creation, while the broader residential market remains supported by genuine end-user demand. Stable financing costs, coupled with India’s improving growth outlook, should sustain market momentum.” Mr. Dhruman Shah, Promoter, Ariha Group “The RBI’s decision to keep the repo rate unchanged reflects its focus on balancing growth with inflation management amidst ongoing global uncertainties. For the real estate sector, policy continuity is a positive outcome as it preserves financial stability and ensures that financing conditions remain predictable for both developers and homebuyers. Stable interest rates, combined with sustained infrastructure investments and urbanization, will continue to support residential sales.”
